ARM: clean up the memset64() C wrapper

2026-04-18T08:33:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit b52343d1cb47bb27ca32a3f4952cc2fd3cd165bf ] The current logic to split the 64-bit argument into its 32-bit halves is byte-order specific and a bit clunky. Use a union instead which is easier to read and works in all cases. GCC still generates the same machine code. While at it, rename the arguments of the __memset64() prototype to actually reflect their semantics.

ARM: 9468/1: fix memset64() on big-endian

2026-02-11T12:35:27+00:00

commit 23ea2a4c72323feb6e3e025e8a6f18336513d5ad upstream. On big-endian systems the 32-bit low and high halves need to be swapped for the underlying assembly implementation to work correctly.

ARM: 9464/1: fix input-only operand modification in load_unaligned_zeropad()

2026-01-19T12:09:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit edb924a7211c9aa7a4a415e03caee4d875e46b8e ] In the inline assembly inside load_unaligned_zeropad(), the "addr" is constrained as input-only operand. The compiler assumes that on exit from the asm statement these operands contain the same values as they had before executing the statement, but when kernel page fault happened, the assembly fixup code "bic %2 %2, #0x3" modify the value of "addr", which may lead to an unexpected behavior. Use a temporary variable "tmp" to handle it, instead of modifying the input-only operand, just like what arm64's load_unaligned_zeropad() does.

sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked

commit 42a20f86dc19f9282d974df0ba4d226c865ab9dd upstream. Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

ARM: 9354/1: ptrace: Use bitfield helpers

commit b36e78b216e632d90138751e4ff80044de303656 upstream. The isa_mode() macro extracts two fields, and recombines them into a single value. Make this more obvious by using the FIELD_GET() helper, and shifting the result into its final resting place.

ARM: 9324/1: fix get_user() broken with veneer

2024-07-27T08:46:06+00:00

commit 24d3ba0a7b44c1617c27f5045eecc4f34752ab03 upstream. The 32-bit ARM kernel stops working if the kernel grows to the point where veneers for __get_user_* are created. AAPCS32 [1] states, "Register r12 (IP) may be used by a linker as a scratch register between a routine and any subroutine it calls. It can also be used within a routine to hold intermediate values between subroutine calls." However, bl instructions buried within the inline asm are unpredictable for compilers; hence, "ip" must be added to the clobber list. This becomes critical when veneers for __get_user_* are created because veneers use the ip register since commit 02e541db0540 ("ARM: 8323/1: force linker to use PIC veneers").

ARM: 9320/1: fix stack depot IRQ stack filter

2023-11-28T16:56:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit b0150014878c32197cfa66e3e2f79e57f66babc0 ] Place IRQ handlers such as gic_handle_irq() in the irqentry section even if FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is not enabled. Without this, the stack depot's filter_irq_stacks() does not correctly filter out IRQ stacks in those configurations, which hampers deduplication and eventually leads to "Stack depot reached limit capacity" splats with KASAN. A similar fix was done for arm64 in commit f6794950f0e5ba37e3bbed ("arm64: set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default").

ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers

2023-09-19T10:22:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4697b5848bd933f68ebd04836362c8de0cacaf71 ] Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_errno" and "syscall_faked" have been broken. Both seccomp and PTRACE depend on using the special value of "-1" for skipping syscalls. This value wasn't working because it was getting masked by __NR_SYSCALL_MASK in both PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(). Explicitly test for -1 in PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(), leaving it exposed when present, allowing tracers to skip syscalls again.
